8 Claims, No Drawings I PHOSPHORUS, NITROGEN AND SULFO-CONTAINING ADDITIVES FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to new compositions of matter and to lubricating and functional fluids containing them. More particularly, the compositions of this invention are additives made by the reaction of certain phosphorus acid compounds with certain sulfo-containing compounds. This invention also relates to lubricant and hydraulic fluid compositions comprising these additives as well as processes for,preparing the additives.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART The use of sulfo-, nitrogen-,and phosphorus-containing compositions as additives for lubricants and functional fluids to improve one or more performance characteristics of such materials is well known. Among the functional fluids whose properties can be so improved are aqueous hydraulic fluids. Some hydraulic fluids are based on mixtures of glycol, water and oil, while others are based on oil-water emulsions. Regardless of their specific type, these aqueous hydraulic fluids are particularly useful in areas where fire resistance is of prime concern, such as on ships, in steel mills, etc. It is desirable to impart extreme pressure properties to such aqueous hydraulic fluids and it is an advantage of this invention that through its practice this can be done.

Further general background on the use of aqueous hydraulic fluids, their properties and compositions can be found in Lubrication Vol. 48, 161 (1962) published by Texaco Inc. of N.Y., N.Y., which is expressly incorporated herein for its background information and discussion of aqueous hydraulic fluids.

It is known that various types of phosphorus acids can be reacted with unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives such as acrylamides and nitrate compounds (see for example, US. Pat. Nos. 2,709,156, 2,742,431, 2,766,208, and 3,098,824). It has not been previously known or suggested, however, that phosphorus acid compounds can be reacted with sulfo-, nitrogen-containing olefinic compounds to produce the additive compositions of this invention or to incorporate those additive compositions in lubricant and functional fluid compositions such as those of the present invention.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The phosphorus acid compounds, (A), used as addends in making the additives of the present invention are of the formula:

/P R \XM wherein each X is independently oxygen or divalent sulfur, M is hydrogen or an equivalent of a metal or ammonium cation, R is hydrogen or a hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyloxy or hydrocarbyl mercapto group of about one to about 30 carbon atoms and R is XM or R, with the proviso that the total number of carbon atoms in both R and R is at least two. Preferably each X is oxygen and each R and R contains between one and 18 carbon atoms and is substantially aliphatic in nature; more preferably both R and R are independently C alkoxy groups and each X is a divalent sulfur atom.

When reference in this specification and the ap pended claims is made to hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyloxy, hydrocarbyl mercapto, aliphatic or alkyl groups, it is to be understood, unless expressly stated to the contrary, that reference is also being made to substantially hydrocarbyl, substantially hydrocarbyloxy, substantially hydrocarbyl mercapto, substantially aliphatic, and substantially alkyl groups. The description of these groups as being substantially hydrocarbyl means that they contain no non-hydrocarbyl substituents which would significantly affect the principal hydrocarbyl characteristics or properties of the group relevant to their uses as described herein. Thus, it is obvious, for example, in the context of this invention, that a purely hydrocarbyl C alkyl group and a C alkyl group substituted with a methyl mercapto or methoxyl substituent at a point in the chain remote from other polar (i.e., non-hydrocarbyl) groups, would be substantially similar in its properties with regard to its use in this invention, and would in fact be recognized as art equivalents by those of ordinary skill in the art. That is, one of ordinary skill in the art would recognize both such groups to be substantially hydrocarbyl, etc.

Non-limiting examples of substituents which do not significantly alter the hydrocarbyl, etc., properties or nature of hydrocarbyl, etc., groups of this invention are the following:

Ether groups (especially hydrocarbyloxy and particularly alkoxy groups of up to ten carbon atoms) Amino groups (including monoand disubstituted aminos such as monoand dialkyl amino or monoand diaryl amino and the like, e.g., ethyl amino, dimethyl amino, diheptyl amino, cyclohexyl amino. benzyl amino, etc.)

Oxo groups (e.g.,

such as in ketones and aldehydes) Oxa groups (e.g., O linkages in the main carbon chain) Nitro groups Imino groups (e.g.,

linkages in the main carbon chain) Cyano groups Fluoro groups Chloro groups 3 Thioether groups (especially C alkyl thioether) Thia groups (e.g., .S- linkages in the main carbon chain) Carbohydrocarbyloxy groups (eg,

hydrocarbyl) Sulfonyl groups Sulfinyl groups This list is intended to be merely illustrative and not exhaustive and the omission of a certain class of substituent is not meant to require its exclusion.

In general, if such substituents are present, it will be found that not more than two for each ten carbon atoms in the hydrocarbyl group and preferably not more than one for each carbon atoms, will not substantially affect the hydrocarbyl nature of the group. Nevertheless, the hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyloxy, hydro carbyl mercapto, etc, groups usually will be free from non-hydrocarbon groups due to economic considerations.

In the above formula, R and R can be saturated or unsaturated and include alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, arylalkyl, alkylaryl, cycloalkenyl, etc. Suitable specific groups include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, nbutyl, isobutyl, amyl, isoamyl, n-hexyl, Z-ethylhexyl, 4-methyl-2-pentyl, cyclohexyl, chlorocyclohexyl, methylcyclohexyl, heptyl, n-octyl, tertiary octyl, nonyl, lauryl, cetyl, phenyl, bromophenyl, 2,4-dichlorophenylethyl, chlorophenyl, nitrophenyl, methoxyphenyl, ethylphenyl, propylphenyl, butylphenyl, benzylphenylethyl, octenyl, cyclohexenyl, ethyl cyclopentyl, N,N-dibutylamino propyl phenyl, 3-nitro octyl, p-carbothoxy phenyl, phenoxyphenyl, naphthyl, alkylated naphthyl such as propylene tetramersubstituted naphthyl, acetyl phenyl, 2-ethoxyethyl, 6-ethyl amino heptyl, 4-cyanophenyl, 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl, dichloromethyl 3-thia-n-octyl, 2-methyl mercapto naphthyl, 4-ethyl sulfonyl-n-butyl, 4-phenylsulfinyl, phenyl, etc.

Methods of the preparation of such phosphorus acid compounds are well known to those of skill in the art and need not be repeated here. For convenience, however, reference is made to organo-phosphorus Compounds, by G. M. Kosolapoff, John Wiley Publishers, 1950, New York, which is incorporated herein by reference for its disclosure of methods for preparing these phosphorus acid compounds.

A particularly preferred type of phosphorus acid compound which may be used in this invention is prepared by the reaction of phosphorus pentasulfide or homologs thereof (e.g., P 510) with hydroxy compounds which contain the organic groups R and Ras defined above. An example of this type of reaction is the reaction of phosphorus pentasulfide with ethyl alcohol to produce, 0,0-diethyl phosphorodithioic acid.

Metal or ammonium salts of the above phosphorus acids can be prepared quite conveniently by neutralization techniques well known to those of skill in the art, such as treating the particular acid with a metal oxide, metal or ammonium hydroxide. Thus, for example, the calcium salt of the afore-described 0,0-diethyl phosphorodithioic acid can be prepared by reacting the acid with calcium oxide. Similarly the tetramethyl ammonium salt can be prepared by reaction of the same acid with tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide.

As noted above, M represents one equivalent of a metal or ammonium cation. Such metal cations are derived from Groups [(A), [(B), II(A), II(B), III(A), and VIII of the periodic table. When M represents an ammonium cation, it can also be represented as N (R (R being defined below), that is a monoammonium salt.

The sulfoand nitrogen-containing compounds, (B), used in the preparation of the additive compositions of this invention are of the general formula:

wherein y is one or two, each R is independently hydrogen or a lower alkyl group of one to seven carbons, R is a di-or trivalent hydrocarbyl group having one to l8 carbon atoms, R is a trivalent hydrocarbyl group having one to 18 carbon atoms, and Q is selected from the group consisting of OH, OR", OM, O(AlkyleneO),,R", )2,

NR(A|kyleneN),,R.

-ON (R") and ON"R;,"(Alkylenc-N)HT. R3

wherein n has an average value of about one to about 10, and the alkylene group has from one to 10 carbom atoms.

When R is a divalent hydrocarbyl group the following illustrate some of the groups within the scope of this invention (where a named group has several isomeric forms e. g., butylene), all such forms are included):

Methylene CH Ethylene Cyclohexylene Propylene Cyclopentylene Butylene Methylcyclopentylene Hexylene D Octylene CH=CH Decylene Hexadecylene CH=CH CH=CHCH- H1, Tolylene wherein n has an average value between about one and about and the alkylene group is a lower alkylene group of one to 10 carbon atoms. As noted above, R is h an aliphatic or hydroxy-substituted aliphatic group of up to about seven carbon atoms; often the alkylene group contains between two and about six carbon atoms.

Such alkylene polyamines include methylene polyamines, ethylene polyamines, butylene polyamines, propylene polyamines, pentylene polyamines, etc. The higher homologs and related heterocyclic amines such as piperazines and N-amino alkyl substituted piperazines are also included. Specific examples of such polyamines are ethylene diamine, triethylene, tetramine, tris-(2-aminoethyl)amine, propylene diamine, trimethylene diamine, tripropylene tetramine, tetraethylene pentamine, heptaethylene hexamine, etc.

Higher homologs obtained by condensing two or more of the above-noted alkylene amines are similarly useful as are mixtures of two or more of the aforedescribed polyamines.

Ethylene polyamines, such as some of those mentioned above, are especially useful for reasons of cost and effectiveness. Such polyamines are described in detail under the heading Ethylene Amines in Kirk Oth mers Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 2d Edition, Vol, 7, pages 22-37, Interscience Publishers. New York (1965). Such polyamines are most conveniently prepared by the reaction of ethylene dichloride with ammonia or by reaction of an ethylene imine with a ring opening reagent such as water, ammonia, etc. These reactions result in the production of a complex mixture of polyalkylene polyamines including cyclic condensation products such as the aforedescribed piperazines. Ethylene polyamine mixtures are particularly useful in preparing the compositions of this invention due to reasons of economy and availability. On the other hand, quite satisfactory products can also be obtained by the use of the pure polyamines themselves.

the sulfoproducts derived from the amines and polyamines described above can be ammonium salts, dehydrated derivatives of such salts and mixtures thereof, depending on the reaction conditions used to prepare them. Variation of the reaction conditions to produce the desired type of product is well within the skill of the ordinary worker in the art. When the sulfo-product is an ammonium salt, it can be represented by the above formula in which As noted above, Q in the formula of the sulfonitrogen-containing compound of this invention can be OR or O(AlkyleneO),,R Such compounds are, of course, esters of the corresponding monohydric (e.g., I-IOR") and polyhydric (e.g., I-IO-(Alkylene- O),,R alcohols. They can be prepared by a variety of techniques known to those of skill in the art, such as esterification (with or without conventional esterification catalyst), ester exchange, reaction with epoxides, etc. Usually esters will be prepared by heating a sulfonic acid with a monohydric alcohol, polyhydric alcohol, etc. Generally, the esters will be derived from monohydric alcohols of one to seven carbon atoms such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, tertiary butanol, etc., or from polyhydric alcohols such as ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, 2-methoxy ethanol, tri( 1,2- propylene) glycol and the like.

Preferably R is hydrogen or methyl group, while R is a lower alkene or aryl group ('e.g., phenyl tolyl, etc). Most preferably, R in the above formula, is a lower alkylene group of up to 10 carbon atoms, such as ethylene, propylene, methyl propylene, etc. When R is such a lower alkylene group, it can be represented as (R CCI-I wherein each R is independently as hereinbefore defined and the sulfo group is attached directly to the unsubstituted methylene carbon atoms.

Specific non-limiting examples of the sulfonitrogencontaining olefinic compounds useful in preparing the additives of the present invention are illustrated by the following (for convenience only the acid form is shown, since derivation of the corresponding esters, salts, etc., is well within the skill of those of skill in the art):

2Acrylamidoethanesulfonic acid CH =CHCONHCH CH SO H 2-Acrylamidopropanesulfonic acid CH- =CHCON(fHCH- SO H 2Acrylamido2methylpropanesulfonic acid 3Methacrylamidopropanesultbnic acid CH =CCONHCH CH CH SO H 4 M ethacrylamidocyclohexanesulfonic acid CH jC ON H- a 2Acrylamido2phenylethanesu|fonic acid CH =CHCONHiHCH SO H Specific examples of related olefinic sulfonyl and nitrogen-containing substrates wherein R is a trivalent group, are the following (again, only the acid form is shown for convenience):

2( Methacrylamido l ,4-butane disulfonic acid l(Acrylumido)4.5-naphthalene disulfonic acid CH =CHC(O)NH SO H Related olefinic sulfonyland nitrogen-containing compounds wherein R is a trivalent group, are the followg ing:

l.lhis(acrylamido)2methylpropane2sulfonic acid l.lbis( methacrylamido)2ethyldecane-2-sulfonic acid The sulfoand nitrogen-containing compounds used in the preparation of the additives of this invention are available from a number of sources known to those of skill in the art. For example, a particularly preferred substrate wherein R is an alkylene group is available from the reaction of acryl chloride with an appropriate amino sulfonic acid. Alternatively, similar compounds can be produced by the reaction of an aliphatic nitrile with a l-olef1n in the presence of a sulfating agent comprised of a mixture of sulfuric acid and acid anhydride (e.g., S containing at least two moles of acidic anhydride per mole of sulfuric acid. One such reaction is represented by the general equation:

Further details about such reactions can be found in Canadian Pat. No. 704,778 and US. Pat. Nos. 3,506,707 and 3,544,597, which are hereby incorporated by reference for their relevant disclosures.

Another class of preferred sulfonyland nitrogencontaining substrates has two acryl olefinic bonds and a trivalent R group is conveniently prepared by the reac tion of an aldehyde having at least one alphahydrogen substituent (i.e., a hydrogen substituent on the carbon atom adjacent to the carbonyl bonded carbon atom), a nitrile and a sulfonating agent. Preferably, the sulfonating agent is sulfur-trioxide, fuming sulfuric acid or sulfuric acid such as 98%, 96%, or aqueous sulfuric acid. Chlorosulfonic acid or other well-known sulfonating agents can also be used. Further details of this type of preparation are to be found in US. Pat. No. 3,531,442 which is hereby incorporated by reference for its relevant disclosures.

Generally, formation of the novel additives of this invention is achieved by contacting about 0.1 to about 10 moles of at least one of the afore-described phosphorus acid compounds with about 1 to about 0.1 equivalent of at least one of the aforedescribed sulfo-, nitrogen-containing compounds 1 equivalent of the latter is the molecular weight of the sulfo compound divided by the number of terminal olefinic linkages present). The reaction normally is carried out for a period of 0.1 to 24, generally, 0.1 to 12 hours, at a temperature of about 15C up to the decomposition point of any component of the reaction mixture, preferably from 50C to 200C.

Suitable substantially ineret organic liquid solvents or diluents may be used in the reaction and include such relatively low boiling liquids as hexane, heptane, benzene, toluene, xylene, methanol, isopropanol, etc., as well as high boiling materials such as solvent neutral oils, bright stocks and various types of synthetic and natural lubricating oil base stocks. Factors governing the choice and use of such materials are well known to those of skill in the art. Normally such a diluent will be used to facilitate heat control, handling, filtration, etc. It is often desirable to select a diluent which will be compatible with the other materials, which are to be present in the environment where the product is intended to be used.

The inventive additives can be recovered from such solvent/diluents by such standard procedures as distillation, evaporation, precipitation, crystallization, dialysis, etc., when desired. Alternatively, if the solvent/diluent is, for example, a base oil suitable for use in the functional fluid compositions of this invention, the product can be left in the solvent/diluent and used to form the lubricating or functional fluid composition as described below.

while it is possible to contact the phosphorus acid compounds and olefinic sulfo-, nitrogen-containing compounds in any order, it is preferable to add the acid compound to the sulfo-, nitrogen-containing compound in an appropriate solvent/diluent. It is also preferable, but not essential, to use an alkali or alkaline earth metal salt of the phosphorus acid as the phosphorus acid compound.

The sulfo-, nitrogen-containing reaction products corresponding to the additives of this invention can be represented by the following formulae wherein the X atom is attached to either the carbon alpha or beta to the amido group:

wherein z is one or two, and R, R, R R R X, Q, and y have the meanings ascribed to them in the above description of the phosphorus acid and sulfo-nitrogen compounds of this invention. The additives of this invention include mixtures of two or more different reaction products represented by the above formulae.

Naturally, the preferences set forth in the afore-going descriptions can be incorporated into analogous formula. For example, a preferred composition of this invention can be represented by the formula:

wherein R and R are C alkyl groups and each R is independently hydrogen or an aliphatic hydrocarbyl group, preferably alkyl, of one to seven carbons.

After heating for a period of 10 hours at 80-90C., the mixture is filtered through cloth and neutralized with 25% caustic liquid soda to a pH of 7. Stripping to 90C/19mm provides the desired product which is characterized by a sulfur content of 16.88%, a phosphorus content of 5.06%, a nitrogen content of 2.56% and a sodium content of 5.70%.

EXAMPLE 3 A phosphorodithioic dialkyl acid is prepared by reacting P S 1 mole) with 4 moles of a commercial mixture of synthetic mixture of coco alcohols having a carbon chain length ranging between 14 and 18 carbons. The resulting acid is characterized by a phosphorus content of 0.93% and a sulfur content of 10.01%. This acid is converted into a calcium salt by treatment of 2150 parts of acid with 353 parts of calcium hydroxide. The calcium salt is characterized by a phosphorus content of 3.34% and a sulfur content of 6.58%.

To 158 parts of the afore-described calcium salt at C is slowly added 68 parts of 2-acrylamido-l-octadecane sulfonic acid over 0.5 hour. The mixture is held at 90C. for five hours and blown with nitrogen at a rate of 0.25scfh (standard cubic feet per hour).

EXAMPLE 6 A solution of 423 parts of 0,0-di(2-ethylhexyl)-phosphoromonothioic acid in 500cc parts by volume of petroleum naphtha is added to an oil solution of 292 parts of the potassium salt of 2-acrylamido-2-phenylethanesulfonic acid. The resulting mixture is stirred for two hours at 2550C. and then stripped to C/0.5mm to yield the desired product as a residue.

EXAMPLE 7 A mixture of 250 parts of diphenylphosphinic acid and an equal volume of diluent oil is added over a two hour period to a mixture of 278 parts of l,1-bis(acrylamido)2-ethylpropyl-2-sulfonic acid and 500 parts of diluent oil. After stirring for 2 hours at 30C, anhydrous ammonia is added to the reaction mixture in an amount sufficient to neutralize all the sulfonic acid 1 1 groups. Cooling and the addition of pentane to the mixture precipitates the ammonium salt of the desired product. This precipitate is collected on a filter, washed with pentane and then dried at 45 55 C. in vacuo to provide the final product.

EXAMPLE 8 One mole of the phosphorus acid compound described in Example 1 is added to a mixture of 0.5 mole of l,2-bis(acrylamido)-4-phenylsulfonic acid calcium salt and an equal volume of isopropanol. Reaction mixture is then stirred for 4 hours and stripped to 120C/5mm to provide the final product as a residue.

EXAMPLE 9 A mixture of 0.25 mole of the phoshporus acid compound described in Example 3 and three volumes of isopropanol is added to 0.25 mole of 1-acrylamido-4,5- naphthalene disulfonic acid zinc salt suspended in 500ml of isopropanol over a period of 2 hours. The reaction mixture is then stirred at 4060C. and stripped to 100C/10mm to provide the final product as a residue.

EXAMPLE 10 The product of Example 3 was treated with a commercial mixture of ethylene polyamine corresponding in stoichiometry to tetraethylene pentamine to form the corresponding ammonium salt as the desired product.

In one embodiment of this invention the products of the reaction of the phosphorus compound with the sulfo-, nitrogen-containing compounds are further reacted with a polyoxyalkylene glycol or epoxide to form an ester of a glycol or polyoxyalkylene glycol. Suitable polyethers are ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, tri( l,2butylene)glycol, etc., including glycols containing up to 30 carbon atoms. Suitable epoxides which yield similar products include those having about two to about 20 carbon atoms and are exemplified by the following: ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, ethylene chlorohydrin, styrene oxide, butyl epoxy stearate, 1-tetradecene oxide, l-octadecene oxide, etc. Lower alkylene oxides (i.e., those containing less than eight carbon atoms) are preferred. Sulfur analogs of the abovedescribed epoxides (i.e., that is, thioepoxides or thiiranes) can also be used alone or in admixture with the above-described epoxides or glycols to form the corresponding thioanalogs of these esters.

Preferred glycols are those containing divalent ethylene or 1,2-prpylene group such as ethylene glycol, 1,2-propylene glycol, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, hexa-, etc.(oxyethylene)glycol, and the like.

Preferred epoxides are those which can be represented by the formula:

wherein each R is independently hydrogen or a C lower alkyl group. Typical of such epoxides are ethylene oxide, propylene oxide. 1,2 and 2,3-butylene oxide and the like. Substituted epoxide such as epichlorohydrin can also be used,

Usually at least one mole of glycol or epoxide per equivalent of sulfonic acid are used. Naturally. larger amounts of epoxide can be used if it is desired to form poly(oxyalkylene)esters. Such reactions may be car- 12 ried out at temperatures between about 0C. up to the decomposition temperature of the reaction mixture or one of its components. normally between about 15C. and about 150C. In epoxide reactions cooling may be necessary to keep the reaction temperature within these ranges.

EXAMPLE 1 1 One mole of the product described in Example 1 in an oil diluent was reacted with moles of ethylene oxide to produce an ester of penta(oxyethylene)glycol.

EXAMPLES 12 AND 13 In the same manner as described in Example 1 1, propylene oxide and butylene thioepoxide were reacted with the products of Examples 2 and 3, respectively, to form the desired products.

As is noted above, the additive compositions of this invention are particularly useful in water-oil emulsions which are to be used as fire-resistant hydraulic fluids. Generally, these emulsions are of the oil-in-water type where water is the continuous phase and oil the dispersed phase. However, the additives may also be employed advantageously in water-in-oil emulsions. The oils in these emulsions can be a hydrocarbon oil having a viscosity from about 40 SUS (Saybolt Universal Seconds) at 100F. to 500 SUS at 210 Mineral oils having lubricating viscosities (e.g., SAE to 90, preferably SAE 50 to 90, grade oils according to the standards set forth by the Society of Automotive Engineers) are especially advantageous for use in such emulsions. Mixtures of oils from different sources are similarly useful. Such mixtures are available from mineral oils, vegetable oils, animal oils, synthetic oils of the silicone type, synthetic oils of the polyolefin type, synthetic oils of the polyester type, and so forth.

The oil-water emulsion compositions of this invention comprise from 1 to 80 parts water, from about to about 99 parts of oil and from about 0.1 to about 20, preferably about 0.5 to about 15 parts of at least one additive composition according to this invention. Preferred emulsions having extremely desirable properties are composed of from to parts water and from 50 to parts oil, and the above-noted amount of inventive additive. Emulsions intended specifically for use as fireresistant hydraulic fluids should contain at least 30% water.

These emulsions can be prepared by simply mixing water, oil, an emulsifier (such as those described below), and the additives of this invention (and any other ingredients which are known in the art to be desirable) in an homogenizer or any other efficient blendingdevice. Heating the emulsion during or after its preparation is not necessary. though it may be preferred. The order of mixing the above-described ingredients is not critical although it is often convenient to first prepare a concentrate comprising about 40 to about parts of the various additives (such as the inventive additives) and from about 60 to about 5 parts of a substantially inert liquid diluent or solvent and then emulsifying the concentrate with water in the appropriate proportions. Usually the diluent or solvent will be oil which is compatible with the oil to be used in the final emulsion but other diluents and solvents can be used.

Although the oil-water hydraulic fluid compositions of this invention described above are in themselves useful in many instances. they are nevertheless susceptible to improvement by the incorporation of various other types of chemical additives, which impart the properties desired for specific applications. Emulsifiers such as the succinic acid esters described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,281,356 are often helpful in forming the emulsions (the US. Pat. No. 3,281,356 patent is hereby incorporated by reference for its relevant disclosures in this regard). Emulsion stabilizers which function to improve the stability of the emulsion against the deterioration due to temperature, pressure, oxidation of the oil, and other harmful environments, are another type of useful additives. Among such stabilizers are the phosphatides which are also described in detail in the aforementioned US. Pat. No. 3,281,356 at column 11. This disclosure is hereby incorporated by reference for its relevant details. A particularly useful phosphatide is soybean lecithin which is described in detail in Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, Kirk Othmer, Vol. 8, pages 309-326 (1952).

Other types of emulsion stabilizers have also been used, such as aliphatic glycols, monoethers, and fatty acid esters of such glycols, alkali and ammonium salts of sulfonic acids, neutral alkali metal salts of fatty acids and othe materials known to those of the art. A detailed description of such materials is given in the aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 3,281,356, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for its relevant disclosures.

When a stabilizer is used in the oil-water compositions of this invention, only a small amount is needed. It can be as little as about 0.01 part and seldom exceeds about two parts per hundred parts of the total emulsion. In many instances, it is within the range of about 0.1 to about 1 part per hundred parts of emulsion.

While the additives of the present invention are incorporated in the lubricating and hydraulic compositions of the invention are extreme pressure, anti-wear and load-carrying agents, it may sometimes be desirable to incorporate one or more additional agents to supplement their action. Such supplemental agents may be illustrated by the lead, nickel or Group 11A and IIB metal phosphorodithioiate salts in which the metal may be magnesium, calcium, barium, strontium, zinc, cadmium, lead or nickel. Zinc phosphorodithioates are particularly preferred. Other types of extreme pressure agents which can find use in the lubricating oil compositions of this invention include chlorinated waxes, sulfurized or phosphosulfurized fatty acid esters, dior trihydrocarbyl phosphites and phosphates, dihydrocarbon polysulfides and metal dithiocarbamtes. carbamates. These and other useful extreme pressure agents are described in more detail in the books both entitled Lubricant additives by Smith and Smalheer (Pub lished by the Lezius-l-liles Co., of Cleveland, Ohio) and by M. W. Raney (Published by the Noyes Data Corporation of Park Ridge, New Jersey) pages 146-212, both of which are incorporated herein by reference for their disclosure of additional extreme pressure agents which can be used in conjunction with the additives of the present invention.

Still another type of additive which can be useful in the lubricating oil compositions of the present invention is rust-inhibiting agents. One or more rust-inhibiting agents can be used. The most effective rust-inhibiting agents in the water-oil emulsions of this invention are aliphatic amines, especially aliphatic primary amines having at least eight carbon atoms in the molecule. Preferably, such amines are tertiary alkyl primary amines and have at the most thirty carbon atoms in the 14 molecules. Other conventional rust-inhibiting agents can also be used, either alone or in combination with the amines discussed above.

Other conventional types of rust-inhibiting agents are salts of aromatic acids, such as benzoic acid, etc.. with the afore-described amines. Hydroxy alkyl amines, particularly those with long chains, (i.e., C -C aliphatic amines) containing one or two hydroxy alkyl substituents on the nitrogen atom are also useful as rust-inhibiting agents in the lubricating oil compositions of this invention. Nitric acid salts of long-chained aliphatic amines such as those disclosed above are similarly useful.

The concentration of rust-inhibiting agent in the lubricating oil compositions and particularly the oilwater emulsions of this invention depend to some extent upon the relative concentration of water in the emulsion. Ordinarily from about 0.1 part to 2 parts of rust-inhibiting agent per hundred parts of emulsion is sufficient.

The oilwater emulsions of this invention may also contain a conventional foam inhibitor such as a commercial dialkyl siloxane polymer or polymer of a methacrylate. Freezing point depressants (i.e., water-soluble polyhydric alcohols such as glycerol or other polar substances such as the methyl ether of diethylene glycol) are also useful. The concentration of these additives is usually less than five parts per hundred parts of the oil-water emulsion.

Bacteriocides can also be included in the emulsions of this invention. These are illustrated by the nitrobromo alkenes such as 3-nitro-1-propylbromide, nitrohydroxyalkanes, such as tri(hydroxymethyl)nitromethane. 2-nitro2-ethyl-l,3-propanediol and 2- nitro-l-butanol and boric acid esters such as glycerol borate. The concentration of such bacteriocides usually range between about 0.001 to about 1 part per hundred parts of the oil-in-water emulsion.

Oxidation inhibitors can also be included in the lubricating oil compositions of this invention. Hindered phenols such as 2,4-di-t-butyl-6-methyl phenol, 4,4- methylene-(2,6-di-t-pentyl phenol), and 2,6-di-t-octyl- 4-secondary butyl phenol, are representative of useful oxidation inhibitors. The concentration of such oxidation inhibitors in the lubricating oil compositions of this invention is usually between about 0.01 to about 2 parts per hundred parts of emulsion.

The following examples are illustrative of concentrates and oil-in-water emulsion compositions of the present invention.

As noted above, the lubricant compositions of this invention can also be based on water-glycol mixtures. Such compositions usually comprise water as a solvent and flame retarder, a water-soluble organic polymer thickener such as a polyoxyethylene polymer or an acrylated methacrylate ester polymer, a water-miscible freezing point depressant, and small amounts of such additives as the afore-described anti-rust agents, oxidation inhibitors, and so on, as well as the additive compositions of this invention. The water-miscible freezing point depressant is usually a common glycol or glycol ether having from about 2 to 14 carbon atoms such as ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, ethylene glycol ethers, such as ethyl, methyl, propyl and butyl ethers thereof and similar ethers of diethylene glycol and triethylene glycol. In general, it is preferred to use simpler compounds such as represented by ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butylene glycol. and diethylene glycol for they are cheap, easily obtain able and blend readily with water to give very low freezing point mixtures which form the good basis for hydraulic fluid compositions.

Usually, the water content of such Water-glycol mixtures is limited to a maximum of about 45 percent to be free from freezing problems. The minimum amount of water is usually 10 percent also to avoid excessively high freezing points of the composition.

The preferred thickeners for use in these compositions are soluble organic polymeric compounds usually copolymers of ethylene oxide and l,2-propylene or 1,3-propylene oxide. A preferred one is one containing about mole percent ethylene oxide and about 25 mole percent of propylene oxide, copolymerized to a thick fluid polymer having a number average molecular weight of about and not in excess of 15,000 to 20,000. Such polymers have viscosities of about 50,000 to about 100,000 SUS at F. Blends of such polymers may be used to achieve specific purposes. All of the fore-described additives which are used in the water-oil based hydraulic fluids can be used in appropriate circumstances in the water-glycol fluids. Usually solubility and compatibility dictate the choice of such additives which is within the skill of those skilled in the art.

The waterglycol based compositions of this invention contain 0.5 to 20 parts of the additives of the invention per hundred parts of the total mixture in addition to the glycol-water thickener and other noted additives.

Exemplary of the waterglycol based compositions of this invention are the following:

EXAMPLE 19 A mixture of equal weights of water and ethylene glycol is prepared containing as a thickener a copolymer of ethylene oxide and 1,2-propylene oxide of number average molecular weight 15,000 having a viscosity of 50,000 SUS at 100F, and 3 parts per hundred parts of water-glycol base of the product of Example 1.

EXAMPLE 20 A mixture of 33 parts by weight water and 67 parts by weight ethylene glycol is prepared and treated with one part by weight per hundred parts of the copolymer of Example 19 and five parts by weight of the product of Example 3.

While the additives of this invention find particular use in the afore-described water-oil and waterglycol hydraulic fluids, they may also be used in lubricating compositions containing only natural or synthetic oils. Such usage is particularly favored when the additive composition is relatively non-polar, that is, it is an ester rather than a salt of free acid.

The additives of this invention can be effectively employed in a variety of lubricating compositions based on diverse oils of lubricating viscosity such as a natural or synthetic lubricating oil, or suitable mixtures thereof. The lubricating compositions contemplated include principally crankcase lubricating oils for sparkignited and compression-ignited internal combustion engines including automobile and truck engines, twocycle engine lubricants, aviation piston engines, marine and railroad diesel engines, and the like. However, automatic transmission fluids, transaxle lubricants,

gear lubricants, metal-working lubricants, hydraulic] fluids, and other lubricating oil and grease compositions can benefit from the incorporation of the present additives.

Natural oils include animal oils and vegetable oils,

(e.g., castor oil, lard oil) as well as solventreflned or acid-refined mineral lubricating oils of the paraffmic,

naphthenic or mixed paraffinic-naphthenic types. Oils of lubricating viscosityderivedfrom coal or shale are also useful base oils. Synthetic lubricating'oils include hydrocarbon oils and halo-substituted hydrocarbon oils such as polymerized and interpolymerized olefins (e. g., polybutylenes, polypropylene, propylene isobutylene copolymers, chlorinated polybutylenes, etc.); alkyl benzenes (e.g., dodecylbenzenes, tetradecylbenzenes, dinonylbenzenes, di-(Z-ethylhexyl)benzenes, etc.); polyphenyls (e.g., biphenyls, terphenyls, etc.); and the like. Alkylene oxide polymers and interpolymers and derivatives thereof where the terminal hydroxyl groups have been modified by esterification, etherification, etc., constitute another class of known synthetic lubricating oils. These are exemplified by the oils prepared through polymerization of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, the alkyl and aryl ethers of these polyoxyalkylene polymers (e.g., methyl polyisopropyleneglycol ether having an average molecular weight of 1000, diphenyl ether of polyetehylene glycol having a molecular weight of 500-1000, diethyl ether of polypropylene glycol having a molecular weight of 1,000l,500, etc.) or monoand polycarboxylic esters thereof, for example, the acetic acid esters, mixed C -C fatty acid esters, or the C Oxo acid diester of tetraethylene glycol. Another suitable class of synthetic lubricating oils comprises the esters of dicarboxylic acid (e.g., phthalic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, azelaic acid, suberic acid, sebacic acid, fumaric acid, adipic acid, linoleic acid dimer, etc.) with a variety of alcohols, (e.g., butyl alcohol, hexyl alcohol, dodecyl alcohol, Z-ethylhexyl alcohol, pentaerythritol, etc.). Specific examples of these esters include dibutyl adipate, di(2- ethylhexyl)sebacate, di-n-hexyl fumarate, dioctyl sebacate, diisooctyl azelate, diisodecyl azelate, dioctyl phthalate, didecyl phthalate, dieicosyl sebacate, the 2-ethylhexyl diester of linoleic acid dimer, the complex ester formed by. reacting one mole of sebacic acid with two moles of tetr'aethylene glycol and two moles of Z-ethylhexanoic acid, and the like. Silicon-based oils such as the polyalkyl-, polyaryl-, polyalkoxy-, or polyaryloxy-siloxane oils and silicate oils comprise another useful class of synthetic lubricants (e.g., tetraethyl silicate, tetraisopropyl silicate, tetra-(Z-ethylhexyl )silicate, tetra( 4-methyl-2-tetraethyl )silicate, tetra- (p-tert-butylphenyl) silicate, hexyl-(4-methyl-2-pentoxy)disiloxane, poly(methyl) siloxanes, poly(methylphenyl)siloxanes, etc). Other synthetic lubricating oils include liquid esters of phosphorus-containing acids (e.g., tricresyl phosphate, trioctyl phosphate, diethyl ester of decane phosphonic acid, etc. polymeric tetrahydrofurans, and the like.

The lubricating oil compositions of this invention comprise a major amount of oil and a minor, load-carrying improving amount of at least one additive composition of the invention. Generally, this amount will be about 0.5 to about parts additive per hundred parts oil.

Exemplary of these lubricating oil compositions are the following:

EXAMPLE 21 A mixture of 95 parts of SAE 40 oil and 5 parts of the additive composition of Example 10.

EXAMPLE 22 A mixture of parts-of SAE lOw/3O oil, 7 parts of the additive composition of Example 3 and 3 parts of 2,4-di-t-butyl-6-methyl phenol in an antioxidant.

As indicated above during the description of the oil-water emulsions of this invention, it is often convenient to form concentrates of the additives of this invention prior to incorporation of the additives in an emulsion composition. Such concentrates comprise about 40 to about parts additive and about 60 to about 5 parts of substantially inert organic liquid diluents or solvents and are equally useful in preparing the lubricating oil composition of this invention. Analogous glycol-based concentrates comprising about 50 to about 95 parts additive composition and about 50 to about 5 parts of at least one glycol or glycol-ether are equally useful. Remarks made hereinbefore in regard to concentrates are applicable here.
